DIE MICHAEL DOUGLAS, DIE!!!!!!

OH MY GOD I HATE MICHAEL DOUGLAS.

I really hate him. It's an irrational and totally visceral thing, I just absolutely cannot stand him. He is so smarmy and creepy and horrible. MAKE HIM GO AWAY.

Also, Sean Bean, WHY ARE YOU IN SO MANY BAD MOVIES???

Anyway, it's entirely Sean Bean's fault that last night I had to watch the monstrosity that is known as Don't Say a Word. *shudders*

Don't watch it. It's stupid, nonsensical, boring, and unbelievably irritating. Like Patriot Games it's got a disgustingly perfect all-American family (complete with a gigantic NYC apartment, oh how I hate them) threatened by an ultra-hot scary British guy (Sean Bean, playing a thoroughly one-dimensional version of the role he played in National Treasure, Essex Boys, and Fool's Gold). It's even got a threatened little girl, and between this, Flightplan, Silent Hill, and The Dark, I'm starting to think that Sean Bean chooses his movies based entirely on the fact that they feature threatened little girls.

He's such a good actor. And he's so gorgeous. SOMEONE PUT HIM IN A GOOD MOVIE. Meanwhile, I'll just be over here with my Sharpe DVDs. And this photo, which makes me happy every time I see it.

Oh and hey, [livejournal.com profile] vm_fic just recced a bunch of hurt!Logan fic. I think my h/c kink is overcoming my VM distaste. There's some good stuff here.

Do you have any advice for vegans at Thanksgiving? Help me out, go post in the comments here.

I think it's funnier than hell that you are watching all these shite movies just to see certain actors. lolololol

I think I only liked michael douglas in romancing the stone, war of the roses, and falling down. he got ridiculously icky after that.

I think Michael Douglas is a pretty good actor when he's doing his thing, which is basically being the onscreen incarnation of the self-absorbed baby boomer male (Wall Street, Fatal Attraction, etc). Kind of like Alec Baldwin, he's miscast as a sympathetic good guy.

OK, so what's left of the Bean ouevre for you? There's "Henry VII" - he's noble and really hot; there's "Tom & Thomas" which I have on tape (children's movie, but he's a totally awesome dad in that); "Caravaggio" - dirty, hot, etc.; and I was going to ask if you've seen "Extremely Dangerous" which I love, but you have ... (Also, JUST the Odysseus parts of "Troy" are pretty good - because he's a great Odysseus :P)
